Again, if you have an interpreter of 30+ years of experience vs. a certified interpreter with no experience, who would you pick?
It would depend on what I knew about the individual's skills in any given area. But with no knowledge of that, I would, for any area that requires specialized skill such as medical, legal, or educational, put my money on the certified terp.

And competence, more than experience, determines certifiablility.
